IPPF highly condemns the letter sent by the US Acting Administrator to the UN Secretary-General asking to ‘remove references to "sexual and reproductive health" from UN’s Global Humanitarian Response Plan.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation deeply condemns the United States of America Administration’s decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a major impact on the delivery of sexual and reproductive healthcare around the world, according to a survey of its national members conducted by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has been recognised as a high scorer in the 2020 Global 50/50 Report – a review of the equality and gendered-related policies and practices of 200 global organisations active in health and health policy.

IPPF’s Member Associations overwhelmingly gave their support for radical reform of the Federation, at a historic General Assembly in New Delhi. It will pave the way for us to move forward and build a Federation that is more agile, transparent and most importantly, one that will better serve the people we are here for.

IPPF closely followed the negotiations on the situation of women and girls in rural areas, policies and programmes affecting youth, the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, the girl child, the implementation of the Fourth World Conference on Women and of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly.
